Simple but bulky

By Will Cardamone Ranked #176 - Avalanche Beacons March 16, 2009

I have found this beacon to be easy to use and understand. The ortovox beacon that I had previously was not nearly as user friendly as the tracker. With it's digital distance display and tracker light direction indicators I found that with a little bit of practice this beacon is easy to use and works well when working to find buried beacons or skiing partners in a hurry. It is simple easy to use and easy to learn how to use. The only aspect that was a little weird is the carrying system. It has a holster that is pretty bulky and can be pretty annoying with a backpace, radio, and whatever else you may have buried in those jacket pockets. I have since gotten used to the system and am quite happy with it. Hope this helps.
